While international relationships and study abroad opportunities are very common in the arts and humanities, such opportunities are also becoming more common in allied health. University of Bambey (Senegal) in collaboration with Fairfield University (USA) initiate global activities for many reasons, for example personal interest, encouragement of school administrators, community/public health course expansion, or implementation of global service learning in order to improve the attainment of health millennium development goals in Senegal. Opportunities for Bambey University faculties may be educative, research, or for technical experiences. For students, they are participating in a E-learning program such as Malaria, HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis. Social, cultural and political systems dictate differences in beliefs, values, assumptions, and norms between and among residents in all countries. Lack of understanding of these differences may result in misunderstanding and embarrassing and troublesome situations. The HED program gives opportunities for faculty who desire global experience. The Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the US government and designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. The university of Fairfield faculty may serve as consultants and site visitors for Bambey university teachers. Some consultants work with host partnerships communities on continuing education settings others may work with faculty on curriculum development in health education programs andInformation and Computer Technology (ICT).
